Skinner & T'witch's new single, 'The Bute Lullaby', a gentle song written whilst Skinner & T'witch were visiting Bute, back in March 2017, is now finished and due for release. Coming to a folk/acoustic/roots radio show near you very soon (hopefully!)...

'The Bute Lullaby' features the fiddle and mandolin of the multi-talented, multi-instrumentalist Ian Fairbairn (The Mighty Doonans/Aiken's Drum/Jack the Lad etc..).

The Bute Lullaby

Time and tide will always ride the morning cross the bay

For all the years, all the tears, you rise and turn each day

Verse

Seagulls fly, weave and cry

Dreaming a dream above the blue

Mountains high, endless sky

Dreaming a dream of love and you

Dreaming a dream of love and you

Chorus and repeat verse with:

Sleepy ferry rolling in

So, will another day begin

Easy waves upon the shore,

Morning calls at every door

Chorus and repeat verse with:

Seals are playing with the surf

Where the ocean meets the earth

Oyster-catchers on the sand

Where I turn to take your hand

Chorus

(C) Steve Skinner 2019

Paul McGladdery is a singer songwriter and guitarist, known for his prolific songwriting encompassing a variety of styles and influences from folk to country to classic pop.

Gaynor and Paul decided to join forces to enhance the reputations and audiences they had built as both solo artists and working with bands. Their strong friendship shows in their performances, which are witty, heartfelt and a feast of original material:

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=1063Skinner & T’witch are absolutely delighted by the review by Tom Brown of their new comical/satirical album, ‘Everybody’s Grotty’ (!OUT NOW!), which will appear in the next issue of the marvellous The Living Tradition Magazine:

‘This is a highly amusing and entertaining CD. Steve Skinner and Sandra Twitchett write and perform self-penned songs. The songs draw on a wide variety of styles – from C&W (Breakaway In A Takeaway) to James Bond (The Ageing Special Agent) and all points in between – indeed most styles except folk! Variously comic, satirical or observational, the 11 tracks are well sung with great timing, diction and clarity. Each has a distinctive, strong voice. The songs are too diverse to invite commentary on individual tracks. Skinner & T’witch have been described as “a pair of comic geniuses” and I would not disagree - they are unique: there is nobody to compare them with. The arrangements range from full orchestration to flamenco and are all brilliantly executed - but I suspect the duo is just as entertaining live without all the additional instrumentation.

Unlike many self-published CDs these days, this is a well-engineered, well-balanced and well-mastered offering. I would recommend this CD to everybody who wants to be entertained, especially with humorous and incisive observations on the trials and peculiarities of modern life!’

Skinner & T'witch and Wilson McGladdery are very much looking forward to playing one of their Big Acoustic Nights Out at Square Chapel Arts Centre, Halifax, on Friday, October 26th, from 8pm.

Wilson McGladdery - Gaynor Wilson is a singer songwriter who plays both violin and piano, although she is best known as a singer with a powerful stage presence that commands the full attention of her audience. Gaynor especially enjoys the freedom of acoustic singing and the intimate audiences found in acoustic and folk clubs, where the potency of her performance is witnessed to its full effect. Paul McGladdery is a singer songwriter and guitarist, known for his prolific songwriting encompassing a variety of styles and influences from folk to country to classic pop. Primarily, Paul loves to write a ballad, and he enjoys a cruel sense of humour that regularly translates into his lyrics.

Gaynor and Paul decided to join forces to enhance the reputations and audiences they had built as both solo artists and working with bands. Their strong friendship shows in their performances, which are witty, heartfelt and a feast of original material:

From April 2017 to April 2018 a staggering 1,332,952 3 day emergency parcels have been given out nationally by the Trussell Trust Food-banks

Last year, 19,000 people across Leeds needed 3 day emergency food parcels from the Food-banks to get by. About a third of those people had jobs. Over half of those people had kids (food poverty gets worse over the school holidays, when schools aren’t there to help out). The situation is getting worse and worse, with the introduction of the austerity policies, and is now even worse with the recent benefit changes. Leeds’ Food-banks rely on volunteers and your donations to keep going.

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=1033Skinner & T’witch would like to thank Stevie Connor from Blues and Roots Radio for his positive and thoughtful review of their new comical/satirical album, ‘Everybody’s Grotty’: 'a gem of a release'.

‘Folk, flamenco and theatre is where this album sits. Skinner and T'witch have built a solid reputation for social commentary and observations through their music. They are prolific writers and performers and have come up with a gem of a release, ably showcasing the satirical side of their songwriting on '’Everybody's Grotty’'.

Steve Skinner worked as a songwriter in touring music theatre companies. He is a wonderful guitarist and has studied flamenco techniques recently. He brings music hall traditions and flamenco rhythms to their musical style. Sandra Twitchett (T'witch) brings a touch of classical singing, with operatic undertones. She sang in choirs for years, as well as performing folk rock. Their voices blend very well as a duo, harmonizing extremely well.

They self produced this album, having gone through an amazing repertoire of songs they had written over a period of years. They released a great folk album in 2017, '’The Fools Journey'’. This album follows that and slants more to the vaudevillian way of presentation. There are lots of tongue in cheek humour and witticisms, as well as pokes at celebrities, as in the title track 'Everybody's Grotty', and a clever swing at bankers and the rich avoiding taxes in '’Offshore’'. There are more serious issues tackled, like the current refugee situation in Europe in '’Too Many Feet’', and a James Bond style offering in '’The Ageing Special Agent'’, presenting wonderful and often funny observations.

There is a large range of styles on this album, and although it shouldn't work it actually does, extremely well. There is something fresh about a recording that blends varying styles in this way. Top marks for song placement too.

A hard working duo with tours of Australia and North America planned for 2019, watch out for Skinner and T'witch. You will be thoroughly entertained, if this release is anything to go by.’ Stevie Connor, Blues and Roots Radio www.BluesandRootsRadio.com

'The one and only Skinner & T'witch...a pair of comic geniuses'. David Chamberlain, Acoustic Routes, Dapper FM/Blues and Roots Radio

Skinner & T'witch are very excited to be hosting their fabulous antipodean friends, Sadie and Jay, (with a lot of support from Big Uncle Tony Haynes!) plus playing a live set on FAB Folk & Blues on Tempo 107.4 FM, on Wednesday, May 23rd, from 8pm: www.tempofm.co.uk

With Welsh heritage, Sadie's love for singing is instinctive. Born in England and raised in Australia, Sadie's distinctive voice and versatility led her to perform in bands, theatre and cabaret. From singing jazz & blues with pianist Michael Kenny to world & roots music with The Romaniac's, Sadie has performed with accomplished musicians enriching her spellbinding vocal ability.

Born in Scotland and raised in New Zealand, Jay grew up in a musical family immersed in traditional British folk music. For many years Jay has been a member of the PENMANS, a four part family A-Capella group. This collection of brother, sisters and father have entertained at folk festivals and concerts in New Zealand. Their album "Homemade Jam" is a celebration of the traditional folk genre.

Sadie and Jay have been performing as a duo in and beyond the Brisbane folk and festival scene for the past five years.

Skinner & T'witch had a cracking time playing a live session on Doug Welch's excellent BBC Radio Kent Folk Show again this week (Sundays from 9pm UK BST). You can listen again to the show via this link: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p065hz35

Therefore, be at peace with God and keep on your life assurance payments; no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should and, if it isn't, there's not much you can do about it.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken peace treaties, it's still a beautiful world.

Then baked potatoes, cheese and fish and end with raw spuds on a dish.

Instead of ending, you’d begin a concert with the violins,

Taking bows to shouts of 'More!', then starting with a grand encore.

If all the world were topsy-turve and straight lines bent into a curve,

The 10.15 from Waterloo would have to split longways in two,

Or as the railway lines divide, the train could stretch from side to side.

Imagine hunting back to front, where foxes gathered for the hunt,

Chased the riders ten to one, then ripped their flesh off just for fun.

If all the world was front to back, there’d be no armies to attack.

Soldiers' blood is never bled but each one builds a bridge instead.

If all the world were upside down, we’d share the planet fairly round,

And wealthy people owning lots of fancy houses, cars and yachts

Would have to live in damp bed-sits, surviving just on benefits,

Or desperate, homeless refugees could fly off to the Pyrenees,

Sipping cocktails by the seas as they enjoyed top salaries.

Imagine if the police would pounce on all those off-shore bank accounts,

Get bankers with their hidden stacks to pay some needed income tax.

If all the world was roundabout, we’d never dig our parsnips out,

But let them grow and grow so long, the tips at last would reach Hong Kong.

On the earth’s volcanic heat, they’d get cooked ‘til fine to eat.

Across the world, there’s food to share, with roasted parsnips everywhere!

So, I’m all for upside-downs and living with no sighs or frowns.

If we all lived in reverse, it couldn’t be much blooming worse!

You may think I’m mad as pie, but let’s give upside-down a try.

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=850Skinner & T'witch are absolutely delighted to have made the top 100 artists for December 2017 in the list compiled by Richard Gillmann, from FolkDJ-L playlists based on 14,015 airplays from 132 different (largely US) DJs!

'The especially lovable duo of Steve Skinner and Sandra Twitchett known for their particular mashup of acoustic folk, observational comedy and Spanish-tinged flourishes gave us one of their best singles (in my opinion) this Christmas. With more rye (wry) than my Bulleit Bourbon, they bring some nice harmonies and sparkling guitar/mandolin to a vision of people getting along across the world. Of course they have an eye on millionaires, loan sharks and anyone else tipping society over from the top, and Skinner and Twitch do what they do best. They push, they entertain, they inform and here they are bringing some Christmas cheer with it, “So ring the bells of Christmas with magic in the air.”' Folk Phenomena

'I Don't Want An iPad (I Just Want World Peace)' features Sue Pope and Barry Pope on brass (euphonium and trumpet, respectively) and Mike 'The Woodman' Jordan on lead guitar.

All the bush, the hills, the sun, were sucked in past her teeth and tongue.

And being oh, so very bored, an even bigger yawn she roared.

So, all the sky, the stars, the earth, ended up within her girth.

She even ate the night and day, then time and space were gorged away.

And when the hippo’s yawns were done, she was left the only one.

A sweaty, saddened, swollen face, alone in timeless, empty space.

She missed her mates and furry friends,

who'd lived just where the river bends.

The lions snoozing by the rocks, the slimy snake, the moany crocs.

But deep within her belly’s pot, the cosmic lunch was bubbling hot.

The universe began to brew and, pretty soon, it roared and blew.

Her stomach, vast and over-loaded,

Brewed and stewed, and then exploded.

So, in a big exotic bang, a brand-new universe began.

And so, the hippopotamus

became the origins of us.

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=818Steve (Skinner) was inspired by the full moon over Butlins, Skegness, which shone above the Great British Folk Festival this last weekend, to write this wee poem about a full moon over Butlins, entitled 'Full moon over Butlins':

Full moon over Butlins, there are rituals on the sand

The Red Coats are all druids, the waiters worship Pan

Instead of ‘Morning campers!’ or shouts of ‘Hi-Di-Hi!’

They're droning chants for ancient gods beneath the pagan sky

Instead of roller coasters or scampi in the pub

They're roasting half a vicar to inspire Beelzebub

Instead of swims and boating, or tennis on the lawn

They're drumming for Diana beneath the trees at dawn

I miss the evening bingo, the games beneath the sun

But all night wild dancing is really, much more fun

A particular thank you to Joe Solo, for igniting the WSO spark across the country, where a huge amount of money will have been raised over the past few days, and throughout the year (just look at what one person can do, as Joe says!), to Dave Knowlson from The Grove for being the coolest, muso landlord, and to Leeds Food Banks, who came to help us during the day, but help other people (unpaid) every day, of every year (just look at what a group of people can do!)...

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=680Skinner & T'witch are delighted with the review that that their recently released album, 'The Fool's Journey', has received from Jim McCourt from The Living Tradition:

'A second album from the Leeds based duo, The Fool’s Journey presents 12 contemporary songs written by Steve Skinner, with Sandra Twichett featuring on vocals.

With imaginative lyrics and inventive rhymes, Steve takes the brave step of applying his songwriting talents to historical events. Topics range through King John’s army, Nelson’s navy and the Spanish Armada. In Snow White, there is an exploration of how the idealised characters from nursery rhymes can be turned sour by life’s harsh experiences. The song styles vary, from the mellow and ethereal atmosphere of Crazy Dreams (two versions are on the CD), to the near folk-rock It’s Alright Now. Amid compositions rooted in the depths of English folk, such as England’s Spring and The Winter Song, hints of flamenco and jazz appear, for instance, in the track about the current immigration crisis (Calais Nights). Throughout the CD, there is a focus on relationships, and the impact of events on individuals.

Lead vocals are shared, with Sandra’s classical influences contrasting neatly with Steve’s more earthy tones. The two also harmonise on various songs to excellent effect, shown to best on Love Me Forever. Accompaniment is largely provided by Steve’s guitars, although Mike Jordan also contributes. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne plays melodeon and concertina, most prominently on the title track.

The Fool’s Journey is an intriguing blend of multiple influences, with depth and craft in every track. Sandra Twichett and Steve Skinner, two technically accomplished musicians, combine seamlessly to create a fascinating range of styles and subject matter.' Jim McCourt, The Living Tradition

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=634Sincere thanks to Damian Liptrot for his fabulous and very thoughtful review of 'The Fool's Journey' for Northern Sky Magazine:

'Those of us who spend time listening to dedicated folk and roots radio shows, broadcasting both here and around the globe, cannot fail to have become familiar with the work of this Leeds based duo in recent times.

Always willing and able to marry traditional folk forms with often humorous and ironic observations on the events and happenings of the day, they are as prolific as they are inventive.

That said, it would not do to pigeonhole them, as a listen to their collected works show a variety range of approaches that is not always apparent through exposure to individual tracks. Sure, there are the playful and amusing interludes, as with the lead track that refers to the traditions of dedicated days for mocking our supposed superiors and then marrying that to the present day and the need to retain that scepticism on a wider scale.

Further in to the album we encounter more traditional folk tales that cover the passing of the seasons and nods to fertility of all kinds, the misery and fear of the common soldier and sailor and then, just as you are lulled into enjoying what could be described as familiar themes, a quick double take reveals that Calais Nights is more than a tale of travel but a hard hitting exploration of the travails of the individuals that make up the current refugee crisis, both personalising them and bringing home the reality of their situation. In the manner that old and new themes are intertwined lyrically, so musically there is a blend of middle eastern and home grown elements that is also to be applauded. There is also a later return to satire as the woes of the present day are explored through that fate of our favourite childhood characters – most of whom appear to have fallen on hard times.

Having introduced the idea of musicality, then hats off to Steve Skinner for his fine and varied instrumental contributions and the powerful and distinctive vocals of Sandra (T'witch) Twitchett, as befits her classical background, though it should also be mentioned that Steve's vocals also feature where appropriate.

There is much here to both enjoy and admire. As they fill the folkwaves and have an increasing presence in the roots clubs up and down the country, alongside preparations for their first assault on the USA, they are an example and an inspiration to all those who wish to put themselves and their music out there. Bloody good luck to them say I.'

http://skinnerandtwitch.com/news/index.php?post_id=574Skinner & T'witch are delighted to have received a tremendous review from Marianne Doig, Leith Folk Club. We enjoyed a marvellous gig at Leith Folk Club last week, were wonderfully hosted, and can't wait to return.

'Skinner and Twitch were a fairly unknown quantity to us before tonight. I had heard good things about them, which is why I invited them to play, but I was unprepared for just how good they really are!

They play their own songs almost exclusively. Indeed, there was only one cover during their whole performance. It was a song by Bert Jansch and covered by Led Zeppelin, "Blackwaterside". Steve is a big Bert Jansch fan and he has written several songs in the style of Bert... and I think Bert would approve!

Their whole style and delivery is very individual. Sandra doesn't play any instruments but she sings beautifully and dances her way delightfully through all the songs. Her voice complements Steve’s perfectly, very smooth to his slightly more raucous delivery. Their basic style is folky, bluesy, jazzy and just a hint of pop.

Steve’s background is in comic songwriting but he has expanded his repertoire considerably. The comic element is still there but it sits well with some more weighty themes. Amongst the themes tackled were modern relationships in a song called "You’re Always Right". This was very cleverly done by both singing over each other, different words and tunes coming together in the last line of the chorus. This may have been sung tongue in cheek but it certainly got the message over very clearly.

Another song, "Snow White" was an update on some fairytale characters’ lives in the modern world. The first line tells us that Snow White has been mugged in New York and two of the dwarves are hooked on heroin! We were warned beforehand that we might want to laugh or cry... I laughed! It was funny but it did have a serious side to it as well. Very Clever.

A lot of the songs they sang were having their first airing in front of an audience as they are about to release a new album on the 1st of April. We were very fortunate to be the first to hear these songs live.

Steve’s songwriting encompasses topics as varied as a song inspired by a Shakespeare sonnet, "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day", a sea shanty about Horatio Nelson, a flamenco style song about the survivors of the Spanish Armada and a song about a refugee travelling from Tripoli to Calais, which also included some Arabic musical themes.

Skinner and Twitch provided us with an evening full of delights with a mixture of songs which can make you laugh, cry and think... sometimes all within the same song.

They will be welcome back to Leith any time and if you get the chance to see them anywhere, please do yourself a favour, grab it with both hands.' Marianne Doig, Leith Folk Club

Skinner & T'witch's Pick n' Mix showcases some of the best of the emerging talent from in and around Leeds (& Skinner & T'witch!).

Samuel Moore - Skinner & T'witch played alongside Samuel Moore a Trinity Arts event last year and were simply blown away. Samuel Moore is a respected flamenco concert recitalist, music tutor, composer and author who has worked and performed internationally. He learnt to play flamenco by studying one-to-one with the internationally acclaimed guitarist Juan Martín.

Over the past five years Samuel has performed as a solo artist in some of the UK’s most prestigious concert auditoriums. He has also appeared on a number of BBC radio broadcasts and worked professionally with some of the most eminent musicians of the 21st century, including: Juan Martín and Kenny Burrell:

Wilson McGladdery - Gaynor Wilson is a singer songwriter who plays both violin and piano, although she is best known as a singer with a powerful stage presence that commands the full attention of her audience. Gaynor especially enjoys the freedom of acoustic singing and the intimate audiences found in acoustic and folk clubs, where the potency of her performance is witnessed to its full effect. Paul McGladdery is a singer songwriter and guitarist, known for his prolific songwriting encompassing a variety of styles and influences from folk to country to classic pop. Primarily, Paul loves to write a ballad, and he enjoys a cruel sense of humour that regularly translates into his lyrics.

Gaynor and Paul decided to join forces to enhance the reputations and audiences they had built as both solo artists and working with bands. Their strong friendship shows in their performances, which are witty, heartfelt and a feast of original material:
